The stats gathering idea may be food for further thought. For 
example a more-likely-to-work method may be to allow users to 
rate features through the on-line documentation. You could derive 
a reasonably accurate idea of success and failings from such a 
thing. Perhaps something like this has been successfully done 
before that can serve as a model to emulate.
